Man I'm measuring 48cm at 38 weeks and my doctor is letting me go full term. If she's to big then she's to big lol they haven't done a weight estimate or length but my doctor says she will be big lol

I'm studying ultrasound and they can't accurately determine weight or length of a baby in third trimester.

Oh well better safe than sorry. I trust my docs and midwifes.  And the u/s tech. Id do what they suggest :)

I was induced with my son at 38 weeks because he was estimated to be around 10lbs and when he was born he was only 7lbs 8oz so they can always be off.

There are lots of women whos doctors say baby's too big and they did the csection and the baby is like 4 or 5 lbs. birth without fear is a blog I read you should check it out

I'm 35+5 and am having an ultrasound on the 25th to determine the baby's size. The doctor says I have a really small pelvis and will most likely need a c-section if it is big. Not exactly the same situation as you, but similar. My doctor said usually the ultrasound is pretty accurate, but could possibly be off up to 20%.

I had to be induced at 38 weeks cuz my son was 10lbs and doctor didnt want him to get any bigger everything went smoothly though

I dont want to hurt my baby comming out. I heard its shoulders can get stuck with the extra weight. I think il go with the ceaser if its measuring big. :) thanks ladies for the reply

I have to have a u/s next Tuesday to check my baby I'm 34+5 and they think I have a big baby and will need to be induced. U/s can be abit wrong between 1-2lb difference some times

I was induced @ 39 weeks because of my school schedule, not because of a big baby, but it all went smoothly. If your Doctor recommends it then there shouldn't be any serious issues. I would get a second opinion if you're not comfortable with inducing. I know of many mothers who've had 10lb babies vaginally; however there are possible complications to having too large a baby. One big complication is over stretching your uterus, this could cause you to hemmorhage after giving birth. Hope everything goes well. Good luck to you and your baby.
